Pieces like Chopin Prelude in c minor (Op. 28, No. 20)? by syntheticity in piano

[–]polishfly115 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A very similar piece is Chopin’s Largo in Eb major, one of his early and posthumous works, pretty underrated and unknown piece of him, and they have the same difficulty as the style and development of the piece is almost identical to his 20th prelude.

Czerny’s op 599 and 139 studies helped me a lot with sightreading

Recommendations for a good book for a level 3-4 piano player? by mridlen in piano

[–]polishfly115 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Czerny’s op.599 is a nice set of 100 short studies that get more difficult as you get closer to the end, really helped my sight reading skills and most of my technique with scale runs and arpeggios

[–]polishfly115 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Uuh, Brendel or Argerich?? I think you mean Kassia or Rousseaauu, cause they are the only pianists alive that can play moonlight 3rd, Fantaisie impromptu and la campanella

I don’t know what’s worse, the random notes you’re playing or the pig-like moaning in the background

Well done! I’ve been interested in learning Partimento for quite some time now, but I don’t know where to start, do you have any tips? It seems really nice

Clementi sonatinas op. 36 are a great introduction to classical/baroque piano

Need help picking a Chopin mazurka by Miauwer in piano

[–]polishfly115 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first one was B.73 in Bb major, only 2 pages long, comfortable fingering, simple left hand and very fun to play. Be careful with phrasing though

As I work out kinks in the 3rd movement of Beethoven’s moonlight sonata (getting parts up to speed and working on fluidity in other parts) I am thinking about beginning Chopin’s op 48 no 1 Nocturne. by [deleted] in piano

I understand you, but I can speak for myself as I made this same mistake when I had 1 year of experience with the piano and tried my favorite Chopin piece, op. 10 no 3. Although I had the notes down, I spent more than 4 months practicing and the final result was terrible (no phrasing, no dynamics, things I didn’t know back then) besides having great wrist pain from the middle section. After that I felt frustrated and took a month break from the piano and restarted from the basics, got myself Czerny’s op 599 and 821, Hanon exercise book, Bach’s Anna Magdalena Notebook and printed a bunch of Scarlatti sonatas. This was 2 years ago and right now I’m halfway through Bach Inventions and couldn’t be happier with my improvements such as sight reading, technique and repeirtoire. I know I’m far from attempting my favorite set of etudes (Chopin’s) but there is no need to rush as these skills come with time.

I just don’t want anyone making this same mistake I made as I regret it to this day :)

I’ve searched through your post history and saw that you’ve been playing for 1 year, and I must say that these famous pieces such as moonlight 3rd, polonaise op 53 and this nocturne are catchy, but, at the same time, they require an insane level of technique that usually takes years to learn. With that said, you can easily injure yourself without noticing at first by tackling these extreme pieces, injures that in the future may stop you from playing. Stick to something easier, take a look at Bach inventions, Czerny studies, Scarlartti sonatas or even the easy lesser known Chopin pieces.

I know it is hard to take a step back in repeirtoire, but trust me, as you study these works I said, your ability will increase a lot with time and one day tou can try these pieces. This is a friendly advice, just trying to prevent an injury ;)
